Rapper Ms Jorji accused well-known Nigerian dancer and performer Iweh Pascal Odinaka, aka Poco Lee, of sexual misconduct during a 2024 encounter in Dallas, Texas.
The event came after extensive media coverage of the performer’s alleged legal issues and arrest in the UK.
Recounting the alleged incident, Ms Jorji revealed that she had accepted an invitation to Poco Lee’s flat with a female friend and that she was seeking professional advice and mentoring for her music career.
According to her, the situation allegedly escalated when the entertainer made unwanted physical advances toward her before attempting similar advances on her friend and allegedly trying to force her into a separate room.
She stated that they managed to fight off the advances, immediately exited the premises, and drove several hours back to their destination that same night.
Addressing why she stayed silent for years, the rapper explained that fear and intimidation prevented her from coming forward, adding that she doubted the public would believe her testimony against a prominent entertainment figure.
